Windows Update ALWAYS FAILS

microsoft.public.windowsupdate

I have a brand spanking new Lenovo Thinkpad T400 that ran all the initial
updates after unboxing, then just would not run the last 7 updates. I've
tried running them one at a time, still fails. Tried reinstalling SP3, still
fails and after SP3 there's now 8 that need to be run that fail. I tried
these fixes, none worked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
